That was good enough for me

Oh fuck, am I 53 this year..... jeezus
Years are FLYING by
Luckily, age is just a number. On my GS I'm no more than 49! I am sure that driving a bike is the source to eternal life.
Amen to that, bro'
What’s the engine being assembled in China it to do with anything? Naturally the big(ger) bikes assembled in Germany have no parts from China, only stout Teutonic parts hewn by grizzled German, Italian, Spanish, but mostly Chines... oh, wait
Blimey, that makes this 15 years ago.

Thinking of going back to a GS from my current 1290 SAS and I get to the BMW colour options and despair.....
The dull grey with a red seat, red white and blue rallye (thankfully without the hideous gold wheels now) triple black and the new 40th edition again in black.
Hardy a stunning choice - with modern production approaches and let's face it the few parts that carry the main colour why can't offer a bespoke 'design your own' colour scheme? If you are planning on spending nearly 20k they could at least give you a bit more colour choice.

19,000 pounds and valued at £9k 3 years later with 15k miles....
Depreciation 10k over 3 years is £3,333 or £64 per week
Actual cost per week is £89.42 if taking the PCP option inc deposit. (renting the bike). Limited to just under 100 miles per week.
Numbers are interesting....

Actually you’re thinking like an old person. Young’uns today don’t buy a car or bike, they rent it. It’s all about the monthly payment, like a mobile phone, not the final balloon payment as most have no intention ever to take up that bit of PCP. And given more than 80% of all cars and bikes in the UK seem to be sold on PCP, it seems to work. For now. Round my way everyone seems to have a new Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Porsche. I very much doubt they can all afford to drop the thick end of £100K cash on one, so it’s all on PCP to show off to their neighbours.
Spoken as a (nearly) old’un who owns his own bike.
